WPX-CW 2008 M/M LX7I
Written by DL5XX   
A few days before the WPX-CW contest, another RRDXA team found the way to Luxembourg to run the contest at LX7I. Thanks to Philippe, a lot of pre-work was done when we arrived at his station. Although we could only set up 4 stations, we decided to go for M/M to maxmize fun as well as our club score. During the contest, we kept 3-4 stations on air most of the time. 10 Meter was the big surprise especially on saturday with nice openings within EU and a few stations from Asia. This was another nice event not only due to the contest. We made new friends with which we did not operate before. This makes contesting a unique community. LX7I Antennas

CT9L CQWW CW 2007
Written by DF1LON   

For the CQWW CW Contest 2007 I went to Madeira to operate from CT9L. Walter, DJ6QT, allowed me to use his station and he gave me a list of possible operators for the contest. I thought that I will be part of a team but now I was the head of the CT9L CW team 2007.

Erfahrungen mit dem neuen QSL-Service GlobalQSL
Written by DL5XX   

 

Nie mehr QSL-Karten oder Etiketten bedrucken - dank GlobalQSL

Aktive Contest-Teilnehmer wissen um die ‚Nebenbenwirkungen’ der vielen QSL-Anfragen, die durch tausende QSOs in einem Wettbewerb auf die Teilnehmer zukommen. Allein in den beiden CQWW-Contesten in 2007 tätigten beispielsweise die Mitglieder der Rhein Ruhr DX Association (RRDXA) über 200.000 QSOs – in nur zwei Contesten. Viele Mitglieder begeben sich dazu auf DX-peditionen oder bringen Multi-OP Stationen in die Luft. So war auch der Autor Teil eines sechsköpfigen RRDXA-Teams, welches im CW-Contest als ED8A qrv war und über 9000 QSOs tätigte. Wie in jedem Jahr musste über die QSL-Frage entschieden werden.

What a year !
Written by DL5XX   

Dear members and friends of the RRDXA,
we wish all of you a HAPPY New Year! Before we start with a short outlook for 2008, we would like to look back to the year 2007 which was a very successful one for the RRDXA. In the first quarter of 2007 we launched our new web site, based on an Open Source Content Management System. The idea was to establish a new communication platform for RRDXA members and other interested contest fellows. As of today we can say that this (still ongoing project) was a real success. Read some highlights here:

Statusbericht zum DL40RRDXA-Diplom (31.12.2007)
Written by DL1YFF   

Inzwischen konnte unser Diplom zum 40jährigen Bestehen der Rhein Ruhr DX Association über 150mal ausgegeben werden. Wir freuen uns, daß zahlreiche Funkamateure unser Diplom erwerben konnten. Der schnellste Diplomjäger war übrigens unser überaus fleißiger Operator DL5YM, Fred Ockert, der das Diplom Nr. 1 bekam und 60 Punkte in CW aufweisen konnte. Besonders erfreut war ich auch über unseren OM Michael, DE3MKM, der es als SWL zum Diplom Nr 2 geschafft hat. Ich will sie nicht alle aufzählen, denn eine Graphik kann deutlicher machen, wie der aktuelle Stand derer ist, welche die Diplombedingungen schon erfüllt haben und beantragen könnten (Stand 31.12.2007). Immerhin konnten schon über 150 Diplome ausgestellt werden.

1A3A and D4C during CQWW
Written by DL5XX   

Dear Contest friends,

during CQWW-SSB a group of RRDXA members is going to activate 1A3A. This new prefix will be on air for the very first time from the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. It will be the first activity during a major contest. The license has been granted as a part of a fundraising program to support the worldwide relief activities of the Order of Malta. The contest activity will help collecting funds to build a school for young girls as part of a support plan for the rebirth of South Sudan, coordinated by the Order of Malta  together with the Italian government.

Every contribution even the smallest will be greatly appreciated. Please donate on www.1a4a.org and your call sign will be printed on the special QSL card!

 

Another activity will be launched by our members during CQWW-CW as D4C in the M/2 category.

Watch out for this excellent team of contesters and work them on all bands.
